1:05 am
a case of blowback as many people are saying without or someone else being responsible for this and the issue being this movie and then if you look at egypt the situation there is one where the government the president morsi has made a break with the people over two major issues in the last week or two of his coming down on the side of the united states over the over the situation in syria and iraq with israel neither of which are with the center of gravity exists among the egyptian people and they've had almost continuing revolution since january february of last year where each time when they felt the revolution was betrayed they went into the streets so the dynamics underneath this i think are much more complex than this movie first of all in libya al qaida and the united states were allies al qaida were the ground troops in the u.s. the air support in the early stage with united states u.k. and french troops arming and guiding them from february twenty third on as reported

arabiya an arabic language channel my job to the muslim world is to communicate with americans are not readily washington invested huge resources in building a massive social media presence comprised of nearly two hundred different accounts to spread its message of friendship by the end of last year the u.s. had spent seventy million dollars assisting foreign citizens with the resources to bypass online firewalls and censorship. the bitter irony is that a you tube clip posted by one american instantly buried massive efforts made by the u.s. government as americans were being held hostage by a small group of extremists people here in america think when they put their views on you tube and now the technology is such that it can be seen all over the world i think people in egypt and libya and some of these places don't understand this is not the view of most americans this is not the view of the u.s.

1:12 am
crisis. the basic problem in europe and indeed in other countries of the world is of course that there is too much debt both private and above all public and nothing today and nothing on any other future occasion is going to make that problem go away even budget cuts are not going to make those essential problem go away which is that the states are too heavily indebted and even the various so-called austerity programs which have been imposed i'm not going to produce a budget surplus which is the only way of repaying debt unless of course there is economic growth and there's a final point this the european union for many decades now has played a game of smoke and mirrors whenever there's a crisis whenever there's a problem to be solved it rearranges the institutional furniture. germany's federal court has backed a motion considered crucial for containing the continent's debt crisis and approved the new five hundred billion euro bailout fund for struggling eurozone countries however the ruling comes with several conditions including

a restriction on the size of berlin's contribution dr gone back a specialist in e.u. law at the school of oriental and african studies in london says the motion won't bring any long term solutions. the past is an imperfect guide to the future so far the german parliament has always approved aid i think we are reaching a point where germany has spent so much money that she's locked in and parliamentarians will continue granting further assistance every time the only way of getting out of this vicious circle would be the success of the save big spread in southern europe i card see that happen the economic situation in southern europe is dire every day cation we have that it's getting worse if you probably. you will gobble up his government debt to a limited extent it will take away the said tit for cuts it will not enforce it.

1:15 am
greece in a repeated fashion this annoyance among the dutch at having to bail out greece again and again has reached a point where some dutch customers refuse to pay the bill of greek restaurants because well they've already paid with bailout money taking a lot of your skeptic add to brussels stat has become a popular campaign strategy from the far right freedom party which is called for the return of the dutch guilder to the once fringe leftist socialist party openly challenging the german led a steady strategy for europe well we are protesting against our liberal government you know made to distinction between the rich. part of the problem is you know did you run brussels has a lot of power now and people feel like they have nothing to say about what is going on with their money or we cannot make our own decisions anymore we can see it in europe. are becoming less
